I’ve a site that I’ve been generating on a temp domain. I started building the ‘live’ site on another domain.
On the test site, bbpress integrated quite nicely, placing itself in the ‘main’ column, leaving the sidebars as they were (left & right).
On the live site, the sidebars disappear on any of the forum pages.
(???)
Using the latest WP (4.2.2), bbpress (2.5.7) & a raindrops child theme (1.0.1435411886)
any help greatly appreciated
It might be a javascript issue , I just had to mess with a popular theme framework for a user to fix a bug in bbPress.
And it was some javascript file from the theme conflicting with bbPress.
So contact them to see if they can test that out.

Hi,
I am setting up a deployment site using BackupBuddy and wanted to kind of start with a fresh install of WordPress rather than just move my entire site and all of the files over all at once. I have tested out a lot of plugins in the past and I am always a bit of a clean freak and a little paranoid about what files the old plugin left or things they configured, so settings up a new WordPress installation from scratch and just moving over the plugins and data I use would be ideal (I think) since this way would leave all the unused files and old stuff behind.
So basically BackupBuddy told me to contact each plugin author to make sure that all of the files I would need to transfer that their plugin uses are located in their plugin’s folder.
Is this true? If there are any files that your plugin uses that aren’t in your plugins folder, could you let me know where they are located so that I can configure BackupBuddy to send those as well?
Thanks
Hello to everybody,
I am currently working on a BBPRESS installation. I have 2 diferent parts on my website : a Blog AND a Forum.
I have a parent page for all my forums called “Forums” So, in my main nav, I have 2 items : “Blog” and “Forums”.
When I click on “Forums” in the nav, I go to the parent page of all my forums. In the nav, the item “Forums” gets the following classes in the HTML :
.menu-item menu-item-type-post_type .menu-item-object-page .current-menu-item .page_item .page-item-20 .current_page_item menu-item-22
Now, when I click on one of my forums, “forum 1” for exemple, my item “Forums” in the nav gets the folowing classes :
.menu-item .menu-item-type-post_type .menu-item-object-page .menu-item-22
and the item “blog” get the classes :
.menu-item .menu-item-type-post_type .menu-item-object-page .menu-item-23 .current_page_parent
I mean that “forum 1” should be a child page of “Forums” ?
Instead, it seems to be a child element of the blog. Does anybody know how to fix this ?
I have the latest version of wordpress and bbpress, work locally with Mamp, using Twenty15 as a theme.
If somebody have a solution, it would be great, thanks for your attention.

Hello Oyeben6, i have the same issue than you. Have you find any solution to solve this problem ?
I have the latest version of wordpress and BBpress, Twenty Fifteen as a principal theme, no other plugin working, reinstalled everything 2 times, changed the permalinks but work locally.
Thanks for your kind answer and have a nice day

Hi, not yet.
I changed that page to a fullwidth page. The issue with the padding remains. I tried to use some other css but that also effects the bbpress layout.
See this page where the output is still with a padding: https://bfgv.nl/forums/zoeken/test/
How can I remove the padding here without effecting the rest?
Using latest version of all plugins.
So i am wanted to disable all forum notifications, as i get endless new reply notifications.
I have removed all code from the file
/bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/notifications.php
leaving only <?php
Which after testing seems to do what i want.
I realise this isnt the correct method, can anyone point advise me on the proper way to do this, do i use a series of remove_actions ?
Thank you 🙂
Ajax comments might affect this , I think , I had a theme awhile ago that would mess with reply threading if I had Ajax comments enabled. If you have ajax comments then disable that and see if it works.
Other than that , you can allow me to test how your reply threading is doing. You can create me an account for your site with subscriber/participant capabilities and send the login information to my email.

Bumping this back up.
I hadn’t realized it before because I hadn’t tested it, but we’re still having the same problem as previously described with our forum search functionality. i.e. When a user searches a term in the bbpress forum, the results show a line of gibberish, not search results.
Is there a setting somewhere that I can tweak so that it shows our “forums” page search results?
Thanks,
Michelle
Do the default bbPress notifications work when you subscribe to a topic or forum??
Test this without the wp-smtp plugin to test just bbPress.
You may need to use this https://wordpress.org/plugins/asyncronous-bbpress-subscriptions/ , but test the default bbPress subscriptions without wp-smtp and this plugin first.
hi,
My genesis theme adds a padding to .entry and therefore the content-sidebar pages have this padding too. It makes the forum content really narrow. I want to remove that padding. Only for forum pages and topics. How?
The site is still in development but i included a url that shows the issue.
WP version 4.2.2
BBpres verion 2.5.7

Hi
It seems that there is an issue with the forum on my website.
The topics are not sorted after the latest replies, but in more random order.
does anyone have a suggestion to what i could do the fix it ?
this is the site
http://www.rejseri.com/rejseforum/
Just shy away from using shortcodes for forum pages , it will be time consuming. You would have to possibly create pages for all instances of any bbPress page. This includes topic pages and user profile pages.
The way you could get a non-fullwidth layout is to contact your theme author , which I think is Avada for help. Since they have more knowledge of how the theme works and I can’t just buy a theme and test it out and tell you what to do to have this layout.
You could also do this manually with my help guiding you, but you would need some basic knowledge of how WordPress templates work.
This guide will help with getting the layout , you would need to add the sidebar code back in like how the example template has. Please note that that is just an example template and is not something to copy and paste since all themes are different.

the reply above me is spam do not worry about that.
@oscarguy
Thanks for your input. Do I find the membership plugins on the regular wordpress site or here on the bbpress site?
I guess either one really , it is just the same data. Search “bbpress membership”
you would probably get
Paid Memberships Pro
s2Member
bbPress extension for membermouse
Premium membership with Bitcoin
Restrict Content Pro – bbPress
There are probably more but might require some searching on google , you should test them out on a test site before installing on a production site.
I already have such a WordPress Network.
I use “multi-domain” to link different domains …
I interprete your “use WordPress as CMS not as blog” as : use “show static page” instead of “show last posts” in “customization”…
So I should put the bbPress root template as this static page. and fix the root folder as “” ?
that what you suggest ?
(I’m fighting to test it, I did not succeed yet but for stupid DNS problems…)
Thank you
Is there then a way to merge users? So that if someone registered on the WordPress site and separately on the forums that afterwards they can be combined?
You can delete a user then attribute their content to another user
We have a members-only section for our forums. I understand these forums will be made public and we would need to hide them, but is there a way to set up users that have access only to certain sections while the general public has access to everything else? I don’t want to assign all of our members the ability to edit content on the site, just have access to a members only forum.
There are a couple of membership plugins that are compatible with bbPress, you could also use the bbPress private groups plugin.
Will this create two separate MySQL databases? Will the old phpBB still be there and operational? Can the two be used simultaneously and will content posted in one cross-post to the other once merged to bbpress?
Your phpbb data will be imported into the WordPress database where bbPress would usually be. Cross posting I’m not sure. You should test this out on a test site to make sure everything is working okay and to your expectations.

Hello! I recently migrated my site to a VPS. Ever since then, the “notify me of follow-up replies via email” has not been working. I downloaded a plugin to test email using PHP mail() function, and those emails do come in. However, the BBpress ones do not.
I contacted my host about this, and this is what they sent me:
“I have reviewed the server and was able to confirm that it is currently able to send email using the telnet command. Now that you are on a server all emails sent from the server must relay through our relay server which is: dedrelay.secureserver.net please ensure that your scripts and plugins that send email are configured to send through the mentioned relay server on port 25, failure to do so will result in emails not sending.”
Any help would be appreciated!
Hey krazen, I have the same problem and I created a mu-plugin to solve it. I tried the latest version of BBP but the problem is still here.
The gist is here if you want: https://gist.github.com/benjaminniess/578118e0c0c20bf94fd5
This might be normal behavior, I will test it out though.
This is caused because bbPress is rendering a certain template in your theme , this happens to be a template that is full width without a sidebar.
Is your theme a premium theme or a free theme??
If it is free, I can check it out and tell you what you need to do.
If it is premium , the theme authors will have to help you as I cannot just buy a theme just to test it.
see if this guide can help you though?? It tells you about modifying the main template , you can use this to put the sidebar back in.
If you have any questions about it or suggested improvements please let me know.
https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/
Yeah you are correct , I just tested it myself and see the issue.
All I can recommend is either contacting the plugin author , or find an alternative to that plugin.
@manni1970
I just translated my test site into German, I don’t see an issue??
As long as you have the latest active versions files it should work.
Did you get your .po and .mo files from here??

Hello,
I have WordPress 4.2.2 with bbPress 2.5.7, bbPress Enable TinyMCE Visual Tab 1.0.1, and bbPress Notify (No-Spam) 1.8.1 and WP SMTP.
Everything is working fine except for the Email Notifications from the forums. I really need to get this to work. I’ve tried various permissions changes, etc. WordPress itself works fine and when I send test emails, they come through, but I don’t get the auto-notifications.
Can anybody help???
Thanks

I did some testing and found the following plugin was the only one preventing me from seeing the Forum option in the dashboard menu. Has anyone else had this issue or know how to fix it so I can have both active at the same time?
Find and Replace
Version 2.0 | By Ramon Fincken, Bas Bosman
I assume that something in the Find and Replace plugin, which adds its own option in the dashboard menu, is blocking the BBPress menu item from displaying.
